Hyundai I30 Recalls In The UK: Every Safety Recall By Year And Build Date, And What To Do

The Hyundai I30 has 8 UK safety recalls in DVSA records, 4 of them since 2020. The most common faults involve brakes and airbags. Enter your registration to see which apply to your car; you won't usually pay for a recall repair.¹

The Hyundai i30 has few UK recalls, and most involve older cars. The largest, R/2015/056, fixed a fault that could cause a loss of steering assistance on 12,512 i30s, and R/2014/128 dealt with another steering fault on earlier cars. In 2020 Hyundai recalled the i30 twice: R/2020/016 for an airbag that could deploy prematurely, and R/2020/059 because moisture entering the ABS module could cause a short circuit; follow any parking advice in that letter until the repair. More recent recalls are small, including a 2025 driver's airbag inflator recall (R/2025/456) and a tyre pressure monitoring system that might not comply with the rules on the i30 N (R/2021/261). i30 recalls tend to arrive several years after the cars were built, so check older cars again. Any Hyundai dealer can confirm by VIN which recalls apply to your car.
